Kapahaka has been done at Awahono school for a number of years. Our kapahaka group  have been able to participate in Te Ahurei o Ngā Kura o Te Tai o Poutini - West Coast Kapahaka Festival. This has seen us travel to Westport, Reefton, Greymouth and Hokitika to participate in this event. We are lucky enough to be able to be supported by tutor, Paula Iraia, who teaches us waiata and plays the guitar. 

All our students at school learn some of the waiata that our kapahaka group sings. If you'd like to practice some of these at home, click on the links below.
